Former Tulane wing Kam Williams commits to Kentucky
- Thread starter University-6
- Start date
Dude has 1st rd potential. Crazy upside
We need to be good enough that he is 7/8.
And just by watching the tape, Williams is more physical then Almonor and can guard multiple positions
The best part is that he’s got three years of eligibility left.
I like portal guys who can stay longer than just a one season pit stop.

Looking through his stats on a game to game basis and his numbers indicate he's a very active defender, and very consistent 3 point shooter. Very nice piece.
I’ve noticed Pope and staff has really targeted that a lot so far.
Yes, it was a joke. Travis Perry is the clear favorite to be the starting SF over Noah.
My way too early comparison is PJ Washington. Let's hope he turns out as good as PJ. Seems like a guy with size who can shoot, and guard multiple positions. He averages 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. That is eye popping! I bet there are less than 50 players in all of D1 that average more than 1 steal and 1 block per game.

After watching some clips, how the hay did he only average 9 points for Tulane? What am I missing?
Per UK tradition , we prefer 1 hair color … now get off my damn lawn !!! lol … 8 hours til game time .. you can dye it blue n white for all I care !!!!
Right….points are all that matters 🤦🏻♂️
After watching our defense for most of this year, I’d be stoked if we had a 10ppg defensive stopper in the starting lineup
I hadn’t heard much about this guy but he seems legit. Nice addition and I like his no nonsense/no drama commit.
Shooting percentages are solid, 48/41/76. Defensive numbers are off the charts. Probably fewer than 50 D1 players average more than 1 steal and 1 block per game. PJ Washington, SGA and Anthony Davis are 3 of only about 10-15 NBA players to do that.

He looks more like a spot up shooter than a guy who creates for himself off the dribble in those clips, and sometimes those type of guys don’t have gaudy PPG averages if the offense isn’t being run with them as the focal point (Brea averaged 8 per game across his four years at Dayton for comparison). I still think he’ll be a great addition if his defense lives up to its reputation, because we’ve already seen that Pope is capable of getting looks for shooters.
Didn’t expect a pickup so quickly. The staff must like him.
Kinda childish don’t you think? Sorry I don’t stay on here 24/7 and didn’t see it was already posted. But whatever.
I prefer guys that can play more than one position. He seems to have the skills of a sf but he is big enough to get some pf minutes too.
I can’t wait to see who we end up with out of the portal. Good start for sure
Kam - "I had a solid year, but not the season I needed to be where I want to be just yet," Williams said. "Another year will help me develop my understanding of the game and put me in the best light possible in the eyes of NBA teams. It's not just about making the NBA, but sticking."
Smart young man.
Smart young man.
Right, but averaging 10PPG in a league like the American against Rice, UTSA, FIU, etc., is very different than averaging 10PPG at Kentucky in the best basketball conference in America. Same with defending at that level.
Ansley Almonor averaged 16.5 PPG at Fairleigh Dickinson, did you think he would come here and average 16.5PPG as well? Man he should be starting!!
Look, I like the pickup, in fact I LOVE the pickup, but if we are counting on him being a starter next year, we are in trouble. Both things can be true.
Goodness guys.
Koby Brea was the best shooter in all of college basketball last year. He literally led the country, in a conference much tougher than the American and on an NCAA tournament team.
This kid is not Koby Brea guys. Reign it in people.
I look for Pope to have the best transfer portal haul in the country this offseason! Looks really good on Dent as well. Would be amazing to get that dude!

247 has him as a 3 star as a HS recruit but a 4 star as a transfer.
Hopefully, UK can pull in Reed Bailey from Davidson
